#2"The long tail is still missing in action" - plug&play arriving onto the API scene is going to change that fast.

#3We need more hard data like this on the API ecosystem. ProgrammbleWeb is a great source.

Yep, I guess that's a big part of what's missing still. Mass use of platforms to make it easy for anybody to do this.

agreed there is not enough metrics on what is out there, where the opportunities are? I know John and the team @ PW is working hard to track on all of this, but its good to see more detail get pulled from someone external.
If anyone else wants to help slice and dice and make sense of it all, ProgrammableWeb has an API....

#91000APIs is a small sample size.

Yes, agreed - but the total number of APIs listed is a little over 6000, so it's a reasonable sample to some extent. There are a lot more APIs out there which aren't public / listed - so it's hard to account for those.
